One of the greatest problems we experience is the inability to appreciate and capitalise on the resources available to us. Many a time, we focus on our current incapabilities thus blocking our vision of our abilities, so we sink in the muddy clay of “I can’t” rather than soar on the sturdy wings of “I CAN”.

Take yourself as an example, yes you! You do not have a master’s degree, you lack work experience as you did not even embark on the customary industrial training, you are not very good with speaking even though you’d love to and since these are major requirements needed in the companies you’ve applied to, a feeling of dejection sets in. Am sorry dear and I empathise with you.

One question I have for you however is: what do you have ?

The reality is that more often than not, we neglect what we have in pursuit of what we don’t, we therefore create a series of wrinkles in our otherwise neatly ironed self-confidence. We sit with deflated believe in our self.

The founder of Coca-Cola, John Pemberton was a pharmacist who saw potential in the concoction he had and today, it is a global brand.

Adi-dasler saw potential in sport and his ability to make shoes thus converting waste from the war into material for shoes, today we all know addidas!

How about the popular Kentucky fried chicken (KFC)? Just a personal love for cooking and for making chicken using his own concocted mixture and development over the years!

So I ask again, what do you have? Oh, your response is different? You know what you have but so many people can do it too! Good! Why do it the way they did theirs? Ever heard of the word innovation before? You probably own a Techno phone now, but I remember you few years ago saying it was a “China phone” and can never use it. What changed? Simple! They developed!

So, quit whining!
· List out the things you know you can do.
· How can you make them unique to you?
· How can you make it of financial gain?
· What’s the local, national and international relevance?

“Little” skills like cooking, sewing, plaiting, drawing, speaking, making
people laugh, technical know-how, designing, modelling and others are great tools in the hand of those who recognise them.

Start small, but always think big and sell your abilities. You are far greater than you think. I’ll definitely see you at the top.

“Once you can write an alphabet, you can write a book of 100 million pages. It’s just a matter of believing it as possible and taking the cross millimetre by millimetre”- Isrealmore Ayivor

Ade5:
Worth a thousand words...

Self explanatory enough

Kookny: Yeah... I love reading books, though it costs money.

Books may cost money, but believe me, it's investment for the future

KillerBeauty: It is chiefly through books that we enjoy intercourse with superior minds. In the best books, great men and women talk to us, give us their most precious thought, and pour their souls into ours. God be thanked for books. They are the voices of the distant and the dead, and make us heirs of the spiritual life of past ages. Books are true levelers. They give to all who faithfully use them, the society, the spiritual presence, of the best and greatest of our race.

-William Ellery Channing

You are very right, with books, there is no limit to what you can know. With books, you can have the best adventures you ever wished for.

The importance of learning to human race cannot be quantified. Of the two basic means by which humans can gain
knowledge, which include experience and book, the latter is within the reach of both the old and the young.

Today, books are available in various formats including PDF,
docx, pub and audio formats.

In ascertaining how great a man will be in life, the people with
which he associates and the books he reads are great
determining factors.

Taking a cue from the life of Bray Bradbury, early in life, I
learnt that self education is the best and that great lessons of
life are never taught in the four walls of the classroom.
Besides, anyone can educate him or herself almost for free.

" Libraries raised me. I don't believe in colleges and
universities. I believe in libraries because most students don't
have any money. When I graduated from high school, it was
during the depression and we had no money. I couldn't go to
college, so I went to the library three days a week for 10
years." -Bray Bradbury

Bradbury wrote a thousand stories in return. He was one of
the most celebrated 20th-century American writers.

If you are one of those who are yet to cultivate the habit of
reading, here are some reasons why you should drop what you
are doing and pick up a book today .

1. Books widen your horizon
Books are effective tools to boost knowledge especially in
areas other than your primary field. During my undergraduate
days, two of the three General Studies Courses I offered were
African Culture & Civilization and Philosophy & Logic. I didn't
read these courses just because I wanted to pass
examinations, I studied to gain knowledge. I wanted to
acquire information in areas different from my discipline and
therefore read each book three times.

I did not only get an 'A' in both courses, I was equipped with
the understanding of African culture, how Africa was painted
before the advent of colonialism and the subsequent
civilization that has taken place. I also learned how logic
works and when my argument is flawed.

If you want to travel the length and breadth of the world,
learn culture of different tribes and a new language, all these
without spending a fortune, read books.

2. Can land you your 'dream' job
Books contains treasures that youths especially should learn
to uncover. In this age, employers of labour look out for
exceptional candidates who will add value to their
organization. Candidates who can distinguish themselves from
others through the self education they've equipped themselves
with.

Top on the list of job requirements by Human Resource
professionals is excellent communication skill. These and
other skills can be sharpened through good reading habits.

Job interview sessions are greater percentage of the time far
from what you read in college. They are intelligent quotient
questions acquired from lifelong self learning. HRs recognize
intelligent candidates when they come across them

3. Boosts your self Esteem
Equipped with knowledge in diverse fields and polished
communication skill gives you confidence to speak to anyone
irrespective of the person's position. This boosts your self
confidence which in turn raises your self esteem. A feeling of
boldness and courage naturally engulfs you. The secret is not
to read just books that everyone is reading, if you do, you can
only think what everyone else is thinking.

4. Leaders are Readers
One of the secrets of every great leader is that they are all
prolific readers. Abraham Lincoln had only one year of formal
education, yet he attributed his success to his reading
appetite. Rick Warren, author of 'The purpose driven life', read
a book each day for greater part of his life.

Thomas Jefferson, who doubles as the principal author of the
declaration of independence and the third president of the
United States donated what could be regarded as one of the
most exhaustive personal libraries of his time to the library of
Congress.

The message is simple, anyone who wants to be a great
leader must be a voracious reader.

It is never to late to start "building" your personal library if
you don't have one. While college can present to you a lot of
opportunities, it will be ridiculous to think it will give you an
education. There is never an end to education, so start
developing the human capital today.

Don't mind them, they are "progrethieves"

You need to read this. It's a comment from the source of the article.

First, articles virtually identical to this one have
appeared dozens and dozens of times here on
LinkedIn and elsewhere on the Internet . If you
want to get noticed , why not write about a
fresh topic or , at the very least, take a different
angle on this topic to differentiate it ?

Second , every person on LinkedIn could
compile a list of annoying things that happen
with frustrating regularity on their jobs . Maybe
other HR people cheer these resume perfection
articles , but to everyone else it sounds like
incessant whining . The millionth article
complaining about typos in resumes ( this
article might be a candidate for that title ) isn ' t
going to fix the problem. People don ' t
purposefully put typos in resumes just to annoy
HR people ( although it ' s a temptation ) . It ' s a
mistake . It happens . Deal with it .

Third , when you reject candidates for violating
crazy rules, who are you hurting ? The
candidates will probably find jobs somewhere .
You ' re just arbitrarily removing potentially
qualified candidates from consideration by your
company for nonsensical reasons . Some of
those candidates might turn out to be star
performers who add great value to your
competitors . Does a software engineer need
perfect grammar and spelling to do his /her
job? When that candidate develops a billion
dollar product for your competitors are you
going to feel proud for rejecting them in the
name of resume perfection? Your job is to hire
the best available talent for your company . It ' s
not about finding candidates that don ' t annoy
you.

Lastly , and I do agree lying is a bad thing ,
when you invent a system that automatically
rejects resumes for lacking every keyword you
desire , aren ' t you setting up scenario to
promote lying ? Isn' t it equally dishonest for a
company to demand more skills than is
necessary to reasonably qualify for any given
position ?

celeron40: I finished from the University of Ibadan 3 yrs ago with an Econs degree...I had a 4.7 CGPA...(From a possible 7) which is a 2.1 in U.I...

Greatest UITE. I also finished from UI, Biochem April, 2014. Presently serving, Batch B '14. It's nice meeting you.

It is well

geekybabe: Hi everyone. I am presently a corps member rounding up my service year and I would like to share a few tips and lessons which I believe prospective and current corp members could learn a couple of things from.
Its so normal to have the hype about wanting to serve and wear that ridiculous khaki.. lol, but the truth is NYSC is overrated. It is just a scheme that many of our corrupt leaders are making millions from and really dont care much about the average Nigerian youth.
Now hear me well, an average percent of the NYSC staf, have the passion and understand what the scheme is about and try to do their job despite the corruption and crap in the system. But a larger percentage dont really care about you, your khaki or your PPA

I was opportuned to be posted to one of the fairly industrial states in Nigeria, and I was with high hopes on camp especially when the madam state director said she would make sure most engineers (yes, I am one) and medical personnel and a some other graduate professionals get posted to places related to their field of study. Lol, this naija sef.

And so it started. I had opportunity to even sort it out on camp, and get a good ppa for myself, at least in a city where I would av opportunities to add value to myself, but I just believed the madam gullibly. In the end I found myself being posted to some secondary school in remote village with no light and good housing condition.

I was devasted. But I quickly redeployed to a much better town (at least not a village) when I had the opportunity. I got an offer to be an ICT personnel (at least that was what the headteacher said when I came) in a school in an army barracks in the same town. I was not excited but at least, staying in a barracks was more better that in some village somwhere.

8 months down the line I cant say I it was the best decision ever. i ended up teaching primary school kids. Most of my colleagues in camp who were smart ended up getting good jobs in the city just a few months after we started serving. Most of them just went to PPAs to sign monthly clearances and all. LISTEN. You can say its wrong and its illegal against the NYSC scheme but what then is right in this country?

At least, they have added value to themselves. They have gained some hands on experience in the field and are much more confident. They had access to amenities in the cities, and they were open to more opportunities, and yet they dont have two heads. In the end its gonna be us, all of us looking for jobs, opportunities in the 'labor' market.

So to all the prospective corps members, PLEASE if u can help it, Make sure u get a good PPA for yourselves somehow, and also forget the bullshit 19800. The money CAN NEVER be enough to spend sef. UNDERSTAND NOW that the only way service year can be useful is if u add value 100% to yourself in ur career, in skills acquisition (IMPORTANT), and also psychologically, intellectually and spiritually.
MY piece of advice::

1. First understand that it is YOUR service year, and not anybodys business. Dont let anybody make u to do a stupid decision out of pressure. If you have to redeploy do it at all costs if u can. Dont waste that opportunity to add value.

. For those who spend that one year 'of freedom' visiting their partners and living a reckless life, its not worth it.travelling around wastes money and precious time. Dont expose your life to everlasting regrets. (pregnancy, abortion, stds, HIV or strange SOUL-TIES). Make up your mind to live a decent lifestyle, for the sake of your future. NYSC is just a passing 11 months. At least 60% of corps members live a reckless sexual life. i saw a lot. ITS not worth it really. 1 year is just to small to allow your destiny to be tampered with in the name of sex.

3. for all its worth, that 3 weeks in camp is just a flying deception. Dont be carried away by the groove, the fun, the partying. Because in the end, that last day of camp u will be left on your own. Some of the friends you have made you might never see them again. Focus on the experience, and enjoy it with your senses intact. Camp is always fun.. but dont mix with the wrong set of people and give yourself a bad name. Make friends with only SMART and FOCUSED people

4. Understand that after the one year, Job search realities start immediately. So dont wait till then to start looking for a job. Make yourself employable during that one year. Invest in yourself. Professional certifications are always cheaper for corps members. Avail yourself of every opportunity and add RELEVANT KNOWLEDGE to yourself. Dont focus too much on that 19800. INVEST in yourself, with the money and look at the bigger picture after NYSC. Never have an idle moment.

5. Dont also be careless with your life spiritually. Many corpers forget they are on a strange mans land where they are posted to and just live care-free lives. NO. have a sense of spiritual consciousness always. Belong to a good church, or whatever course you believe in. NCCF, NACC, MCF alone are not enough, but u can join them IF you see that the one around you is cool and serious. Cause, all these bodies too have their own internal issues.. lol (topic for another day).

6. Finally, JUST commit your ways into Gods hand and trust that the year will be a great and fulfilling one. Wishing you all the best...


N>B. Sorry for the long epistle, but I know It would be worth it.
.. and if you end up in a school, just impart those kids positively. add value to them, and make sure something good comes out of the service year no matter what.

See sensible post, by the way, happy birthday
